for bad reception with the s2k antenna, just attach a good amount of home receiver antenna wiring inside the trunk paneling.. that solved my reception issues.. :thumbup:

 

Whenever it gets really cold mine freezes in the up position. But it goes down once the car is in teh garage and a lil warmer, when you guys turn off ur radios can u hear the motor trying to get it down or nothing at all?

 

when mine broke, i would just hear the motor spinning. signs it had before it finally stopped working was the sound of gears slipping. i tore the thing open and found that the plastic cable (?) that retracts and extends the antenna had snapped.

 

Mine would get stuck when it was coming down but the motor worked fine. Usually when I just put a little WD-40 on it, it would work fine.

 

i can hear the motor tryin to make the antenna go up or down but it doesn't move, so that means that it's prob just the plastic stuff i gotta take car of right?

 

can ne one tell me the steps i would have to take to fix the antenna if the motor isn't broken, thanks

 

if it's the internal cable, and not the motor, you'll have to take the thing apart and replace the cable. however, i couldn't even get the entire cable assembly out, so i gave up and did s2k.

 

how much did u get the s2k antenna for

 

i think it ended up costing me about $25-$35 total. i bought an installation kit for it, but only used some of the parts, because i wasn't crazy about the fitment.

here's a how-to:

i ended up not using that pvc pipe. instead i used this metal piece that's part of the stock antenna, that fits under the fender. fits much better, imo.

 

aight, thanks a lot man, i'll try it as soon as i get the time
